How to get the list of the newly added comments

0
Surender Biyyala (40●35●48) | asked Oct 09 '14, 2:45 p.m.
 Hi All,

I want to write a new email template that should collect all the newly comments that are entered.

#foreach($comment in ${workItem.comments.mostRecentFirst.takeFirst(1)})
${comment.description} 
#end

This will give only one latest comment.

when the user enters a comment and also adds a new attachment. then the email is having only the comment but not the information regarding the attachment.

is there any way that I can achieve this?

Thanks in Advance.

Your code only retrieve one comment and that is exactly what you've got - takeFirst(1). Change the number to the count of comments that you would like to put into the email template. The sample code in the below document retrieves 5 most recent comments.

Thanks Donald Nong.


My requirement is little different. I want only the new comments added by the user before saving the workitem. That means if user adds a comment and also an attachment then in this case the newly added comments were two.

if there are two attachments and one comment and user saved all at once then the newly added comments should be 3.

is there any way that i can achieve this?

Thanks

I'm a bit confused - it seems that you want to control the way how the comments are generated to suit your code. If you only want one, and only one comment in the email template, I'm not sure how you can reliably get the most recent "human written" one. What if a user just add an attachment without writing any words?
Just for your reference, the email notification in one of our RTC applications shows the last five comments.
